3 The Protection System When designing the for the respective protected object, not only the device shall be considered, but the entire system. In particular, the current transformers must be designed such that even for the maximum short-circuit current, the device is supplied with adequately precise secondary currents over a sufficiently long period of time to clear the fault.

5 If the device (50 2 ) fails, device 50 1 trips with time delay. Result: Lower selectivity because station 1 is tripped. Redundancy principle Protection systems are normally designed such that the failure of one component can be "overcome" ("n-1 principle"). Depending on the degree of redundancy, concessions with regard to tripping time and/or selectivity are acceptable. Example 1: 50 Protection grading Example 2: Line differential and time overcurrent as backup Station Station 2 87L Communication link 87L Station 3 If the differential prot. (87L) fails, the time overcurrent (50) will trip with time delay. Station 4 Page 5 otor

6 Current Transformers The current transformers must be designed such that they can transfer the maximum short-circuit current in nearly non-saturated condition for a certain period of time while the correctly evaluates the fault. A precise calculation of this time is only feasible by a dynamic simulation (e.g. with CTDim). Alternatively, however, the actual accuracy limiting factor of the transformer can also be determined.

7 Neutral Point Treatment In central Europe, medium-voltage systems are predominently operated in compensated condition, i.e. the starpoints of the three-phase system are grounded via an arc compensating coil (Petersen coil). This way, the single-pole fault current (ground fault current) is largely compensated by the inductive current in phase opposition so that most ground faults quickly disappear on their own (overhead line system). Even in continuous ground faults (cable system), in case of single-pole faults the operation can continue for the time being. At the same time, however, the ground fault must be located, as the increased voltage of the sound phases entails the risk of double ground faults which then must be switched off as soon as possible. The size of a compensated system is limited by the permissible uncompensated ground fault I CE : at 6 kv to 30 kv to I CE < 600 A, at 110 kv to I CE < 1500 A. Systems of smaller size (i.e. systems of industrial plants) may even be operated in an isolated manner, provided the capacitive ground current (cable data per unit length) of the system does not exceed 50 A. Also in this case just like in the compensated system the operation will continue in the event of ground faults for the time being. Low-ohmic (grounded) systems limit the short circuit current. Single-pole faults (ground fault in solidly grounded system) have to be tripped as soon as possible. This is easy on the equipment, but it may mean that consumer loads are disconnected abruptly. Page 7 otor

8 Neutral Point Treatment "low-ohmic grounded system" System with resistive grounding: ~ L1 L2 L3 R I K In the low-ohmic grounded system, ground faults cause short-circuit-type fault currents to flow which are limited by the neutral point resistance and are switched off in accordance with the grading coordination chart of the system. The fast tripping off of ground faults may cause consumers to be disconnected. However, the quick elimination of faults helps preserve the equipment. Page 8 otor

9 Neutral Point Treatment "isolated system" Isolated system: ~ L1 L2 L3 I CE C 1 C 2 C 3 The ground current I CE flows back to the neutral point via the fault location. Based on the phase angle of this current to the simultaneously occurring displacement voltage, the direction can be determined in which the ground fault with regard to the transformer installation site is located. Depending on the total cable capacity, the ground current I CE can be detected via Holmgreen connection or by means of core-balance current transformers. If the size of the system is too great (I CE > 50 A), the neutral point must no longer be used in an isolated manner because otherwise the arc will no longer be self extinguishing. Page 9 otor

10 Ground Fault Detection "isolated system" Neutral point treatment: Radial system: non-grounded -> isolated system forward Ground fault = ground fault in isolated and compensated systems, no short circuit Operation continues for the time being Ground fault must be reported and eliminated as soon as possible eshed system: Energy flow direction backward directional earth-fault function, sin φ method Determination of direction: Phase angle between capacitive current (cable data per unit length) and displacement voltage CT connection: Holmgreen connection or cable-type current transformer, depending on the level of capacitative current! Sensitive ground current input at device transient earth-fault function Determination of direction: From the active energy of the zero system (E0 active ) after the fault occurs Negative active energy. fault direction, forward Positive active energy: fault direction, backward CT connection: Holmgreen connection Ground fault is present on that line at the end of which both transient earth-fault relays indicates "forward". Page 10 otor

11 Neutral Point Treatment "resonant-grounded system" Resonant-grounded system: ~ L1 L2 L3 R L I L I ee=σi~0 I CE C 1 C 2 C 3 The ground current I CE flows back to the neutral point via the fault location and is (nearly) compensated by the inductive compensating current I L of the Petersen coil. Thus, at the location of the ground fault, merely the remaining ground current I ee flows which can be reliably measured only by a core-balance current transformer. The direction of the ground fault can be determined from the phase angle of the active component of this ground current I ee to the displacement voltage present at the same time. The phase-to-ground voltages of the fault-free phases increased by 3 burden the cable insulation and can cause a double ground fault (short-circuit current!). If such double ground fault occurs before the single fault has been located, this is an indication of rotten cables. In this case it should be considered to ground the neutral point of the system via a resistance. Page 11 otor

Page 12 otor

13 Radial System Radial systems distribute the energy from the feeding point to the consumers. However, in case of a trip, all downstream consumers will be disconnected. Switching over to another line these consumers can be supplied again. Because of the one-end infeed and unmeshed topology, a radial system is easy to protect. Nevertheless there is a variety of possible solutions: Usually a grading of non-directional overcurrent relays(50) is sufficient. A disadvantage of this solution is the increase of tripping times in the direction of the infeed, the location with the highest short circuit power. Due to the increased tripping time, also the number of downstream stations is limited. The upstream relays also represent a backup for the downstream devices. oreover, this system structure can be used for the busbar by reverse interlocking. An alternative concept with minimum tripping times is provided by differential (87L). Line differential relays (87L) protect the connection between the stations at high speed. The of busbar itself requires additional consideration (compare busbar ). Also the backup concept must be considered separately. For the reason of hardware redundancy the integrated definite-time overcurrent (50) function of the differential devices(87l) should not be used for the same section of the system. Of course, the radial system can also be protected by means of distance devices(21) provided that the distances between the stations allow correct grading of distance zones. Faults can be tripped at high speed in most cases. For busbar the principle of reverse interlocking can be used. By overreaching the zones and distances, the backup can be implemented easily. However, distance devices do require voltage transformers (at least on the busbars). Page 13 otor

14 Radial System Example: Industrial system Infeed 1 Infeed 2 Only those relays in regard to the topology are shown Emergency connection Emergency connection Emergency connection by reverse interlocking via additional DT (definite time ANSI 50) or integrated reserve DT (ANSI 50) (at = ANSI 87L) Page 14 otor

15 Ring Network Ring networks are used primarily in industrial plants because they permanently supply all stations with electrical energy from two sides. This allows faults on connection cables to be selectively switched off without disconnecting the consumers. The bilateral or multilateral infeed requires higher efforts on the scheme as the fault current can flow in both directions, i.e. non-directional overcurrent relays are unsuitable as main. Ring networks are usually protected by means of differential relays. This way, faults on connection lines between the stations are disconnected at high speed. The non-directional definitetime overcurrent function contained in this relay can be applied for a backup concept, however, it is not an option for a busbar with reverse interlocking. As an alternative, ring networks can also be protected by directional comparison. For this purpose, directional definite-time overcurrent relays are used which, however, require voltage transformers as well as a communication link to the respective partner device at the opposite end of the line. The busbar can be realized with this relay by means of reverse interlocking. By the overreach grading of neighboring sections of the system, a backup concept can be set up at the same time in which restrictions with regard to the selectivity may occur. Of course, ring networks can also be protected by means of distance devices provided that the distance between neighboring stations allows a correct grading of distance zones. With this device, faults would in most cases be switched off at high speed. An option for the of the busbars again is the principle of reverse interlocking. Due to grading of the (50) relays in neighboring sections of the system, the backup is included. However, distance devices also require voltage transformers. Page 15 otor

16 Ring Network Example: Industrial system Infeed 1 Infeed 2 Only those relays in regard to the topology are shown. I> I> (87L) Line differential (7SD80, 7SD82, 7SD86) (87BB) differential (7SS85) I> (67) Directional DT overcurrent (7SJ80,7SJ82, 7SJ85) Page 16 otor

17 Time-Overcurrent Protection The time-overcurrent (50/51) detects faults based on the current magnitude and trips after the delay time has expired. Time-overcurrent devices work either with sharply defined current thresholds (50) or an inverse trip characteristic (51). odern digital devices work phase-selectively and have designated setting values for ground faults. Definite time: t [sec] TRIP AREA The 50 requires a minimum of 3 current inputs, and optional an earth current input No voltage acquisition no direction determination Easily settable through time and current thresholds I> I>> x I rated Trip characteristic of a two-stage (50) (definite time-overcurrent) Page 17 otor

18 Time-Overcurrent Protection (51) The inverse time-overcurrent 51 is used preferably outside of Germany as its tripping time is variable, depending on the current magnitude. Relay operating characteristics and their settings must be carefully coordinated to achieve selective tripping The 51 requires a minimum of 3 current inputs, and optional an earth current input No voltage acquisition no direction determination Variable, inverse-current-dependent tripping time Characteristics according to IEC, ANSI or BS (British Standard) 51 characteristic diagrams (exemplary) (inverse time-overcurrent ) Page 18 otor

19 Time-Overcurrent Protection (50) ain applications: The 50 can be used as main as soon as the values of operating current and fault current are clearly differentiable. Selectivity is reached by grading the delay times. Application Examples: Line Protection Use of 50 as line possible in case of one-side power supply and radial system structure. Disadvantage: highest tripping time at infeed point x x x 50 t = 600 ms 50 t = 300 ms 50 t = 0 ms x x otor Use of 50 on motors as short-circuit. odern digital 50 devices usually comprise further functions for motors, such as e.g. overload (49). Transformer Use of 50 as main of transformers (up to ~ 5 10 VA). High-current stage I>> acts as instantaneous short-circuit on the high-voltage side, overcurrent stage I> as backup for the low-voltage side Additional function "thermal overload " (49) protects against overload of the transformer. Page 19 otor

20 Time-Overcurrent Protection Backup applications: Being a low-price, simple, the 50 is predestined as backup. Upon failure of the main, the 50 has the ability, in a higher grading time, to trip faults, at least those of high current intensity, and thus prevent damage of the primary equipment. Even a lack of selectivity may be acceptable then. Examples: x x 1 87L 50 87L 50 x x 87T Backup for line diff. (87L) Blocking of the 50 elements as long as the line differential is active. Hardware redundancy compared to integrated backup function of line differential in case of grading of the 50 device, lower selectivity may be possible Backup for transformer diff. Hardware redundancy compared to integrated backup function of transformer differential Permanent activation as backup possible as differential quicker than 50 Settings same as for 50 as main transformer, high-current element I>> slightly delayed (approx. 50 ms) Page 20 otor

21 Directional Time-Overcurrent Protection (67) The directional time-overcurrent (67) determines the direction of current flow based on the phase angle of current and voltage and, in addition to the non-directional (50) overcurrent elements, offers directional ones. This allows the current thresholds and delay times to be different for the two directions. ain applications are parallel lines and lines supplied from both sides. Example for Parallel line: x Direction of supply x In case of one-side supply via a parallel line, a fault in a line is also fed via the parallel line and thus by feedback from the opposite end. A directional overcurrent (67) can trip a fault current flowing against the supply direction at high speed since this cannot be the operating current. 50 t = 300 ms t = 0 ms t = 300 ms t = 0 ms 67 x x x t = 0 ms 50 Page 21 otor

22 Directional Time Overcurrent Protection Lines supplied from both sides (see Ring networks) can be protected with directional relays (67). For this purpose, the grading ensues from both infeeds in opposite directions. At the two outer ends, a non-directional (50) each is sufficient. Example: Line supplied from both sides x x x x x x t = 600 ms t = 0 ms t = 300 ms t = 300 ms t = 0 ms t = 600 ms As with the grading of non-directional devices (50), the grading cannot be applied to an unlimited number of relays, because otherwise the delay time would exceed the permissible grid stability limit. Page 22 otor

23 Directional Comparison Protection (67) Directional relays (67) placed at the beginning and end of a line section can trip any system faults in between without delay provided they receive information from the opposite side in which direction the relay sees the fault. If both devices see the fault in forward direction, they will trip without delay. This principle requires a communication link between the two relays of each section! A B C D The information that the fault is located in "backward" direction is transferred to the partner device by the communication link. This device will then block the directional, instantaneous tripping element, the operates with "normal" grading time. In the faulty line section, both devices will see the fault in "forward" direction. The directional high-speed element will not be blocked, the fault will be switched off instantaneously.

24 Line Protection (87L) The line differential (87L) is used to protect strictly selective areas at high speed. The simple measuring principle of current comparison requires a communication link between the partner devices. While in former times, analog measured values used to be transmitted via pilot wires, modern devices use the advantages of digital communication. 87L 87L Communication link Advantages: Simple measuring principle Fast (no grading) Strictly selective Requires current transformers only Prerequisite: Communication link to the remote end Page 24 otor

25 Line Protection (87L) SIPROTEC line differential devices (87L) can protect system configurations with up to six ends. 7SD8 devices have active interfaces to exchange data with partner devices in a ring or chain topology. Intelligent algorithms even allow transformers in the zone. Individual ends can be withdrawn from the differential configuration when commissioning and testing the system. 7SD8 7SD8 Example: Different system topologies FOC fiber optical cable 7SD82, 7SD86 or 7SD87 7SD82, 7SD86 or 7SD87 7SD8 7SD8 FOC fiber optical cable 7SD8 7SD8 7SD82, 7SD86 or 7SD87 7SD82, 7SD86 or 7SD87 Page 25 otor

29 Transformer differential (87T) The transformer differential (87T) is used for the selective, instantaneous of transformers. Compared to the line differential the transformer differential current can be calculated in one device because the distances and burdens from devices to the CTs are limited. In modern transformer differential relays, no matching transformers are required. The digital device does this by way of calculation. Normal operation: I 1 + I 2 = 0 I 1 I 2 x x I Transformer fault: I 1 + I 2 = 0 The digital transformer differential (87T) takes the following into account by calculation: Correction of CT misadaption to the rated transformer current Correction of phase shift of vector group Correction of zero sequence current, e.g. elimination Page 29 otor

30 (21) The distance (21) monitors the acquired currents and voltages with regard to the configured pickup type. Depending on the respective system conditions, various distance characteristics have been established. As long as load and fault current can be clearly distinguished by the current magnitude, an overcurrent pickup is sufficient. If the current and voltage conditions between operating and fault status are more complicated, more elaborate pickup types will be required. Types of pickup: U Voltage- and angle-dependent overcurrent pickup Voltage-dependent overcurrent pickup Impedance pickup (Quadrilateral Characteristic) X Overcurrent pickup R I > I > I >> I Page 30 otor

31 R1 R1B R2 R3 (21) If the distance (21) picks up, the impedances of all six possible fault loops are determined from the acquired currents and voltages and compared to the configured zone settings (~ fault distances). After the delay time stored for the respective zone has elapsed, the distance trips and clears the fault.

32 (21) Time grading The fault impedance acquired enables the distance (21) to be graded such that it will trip faults up to the nearest station at high speed. For more remote faults, it simultaneously poses a backup for the device in the nearest station. Due to measuring inaccuracies, however, zone 1 is set smaller than the distance to the closesed station in order to avoid overreach (unselective tripping). t ue t ge t 3 t non-dir. end time* directional end time* * not with impedance starter t 2 t 1 Device 1 Station Device 2 Device 3 Device 4 7SA8 7SA8 7SA8 7SA8 SIPROTEC 7SA8 distance devices have a variable number of independent time zones that can be freely configured. This means that various zones can be set, for example reliable, fast tripping for Switching to fault or Automatic reclosing. Page 32 otor

33 Protection (21) The distance (21) in the incomer feeder serves as backup for the relays of the outgoing feeder and as busbar at the same time. Since no selective grading for the busbar is possible (insufficient impedance), this relay is set as backup for the outgoing with the shortest zone 1. For this reason, busbar faults are not switched off until the first grading time has elapsed. Infeed Outgoing 1 st level Outgoing 2 nd level Page 33 otor

34 Protection (87BB) s (BB) are the locations in switchgears with the highest energy concentration. BB faults that persist for too long can easily lead to damage to primary equipment. The resulting interruptions in supply particularly in industrial systems can have a considerable negative impact (loss of production, etc.). For this reason, important busbars must be protected with its own (87BB) system to ensure at high speed tripping. In view of the fact, however, that busbar faults are very rare, BB-faults are normally switched off in a higher grading time. Depending on the complexity of the BB system (from single to quintuple BB), a dedicated BB (87BB) is more or less elaborate. The simplest BB scheme works by the principle of "reverse interlocking", if a comparison of the pickups clearly reveals whether incomer bays (BB fault) are involved, or also outgoing bays (external faults). For basic BB, dedicated (autonomous) BB can be implemented using basic node disconnector image is not required. For complex BB topologies, BB is more complicated as only the faulted BB section should be shut down. To achieve this, in addition to the current, BB must also identify the disconnector image. This is then used as basis to determine the selective areas. Time over- current Page 34 otor

35 Protection Principle of reverse interlocking A pickup in an outgoing feeder means that the fault at issue is not located in the area of the busbar even though the devices of the incomer bays have also picked up. This pickup of an outgoing feeder can be used to block the (nearly) instantaneous tripping of the incomer. If only the devices of the incoming feeder pick up, this blocking is missing and the BB fault is switched off at high speed. 1 2 pickup t = 50 ms t = x ms pickup Blocking pickup Pickup group indication 1 2 Outgoing feeder (50) trips and blocks 50 ms stage in feeder over ring line Protection (50) in incoming feeder trips in 50 ms, because no in outgoing feeder has picked up and thus blocked In case of infeed from two sides, directional pickup messages are required in order to detect feedback to external faults. If in double busbars selective areas are to be considered, it is required to create BB-related blocking messages (via disconnector auxiliary contacts). Time over- current Page 35 otor

36 Protection (87BB) For central BB, all currents and all switch positions are centrally acquired at one device. The disconnector image is generated based on the disconnector positions. This is then used to assign the feeder to the busbar system. s: with up to 20 measuring positions in 26 fields 7SS85 7SS85 X x 7SS85 Time over- current Single busbars with/without transfer busbar Double busbars with/without transfer busbar Triple busbars Breaker-and-a-half circuit-breaker layout Double circuit-breaker arrangement and 1 or 2 current transformers per feeder Truck-type switchgear Systems with combined busbars (optionally main/transfer busbar) T circuit arrangements (stub-fault ) H circuit arrangement with coupler or disconnection Ring busbars Page 36 otor

37 Protection (87BB) Hardware The decentralized BB (87BB) 7SS52 aquires feeder current and disconnector positions in each switchgear bay by a dedicated bay unit. These bay units are connected to the central BB device star-shaped via fiber optic cable. Based on the disconnector image, the BB determines the selective area and calculates the respective current sum. Central unit FOC Bay unit 1 Bay unit 2 Bay unit n To the central unit of the 7SS52, up to 48 bay units may be connected which can be assigned to up to 12 selective areas (BB sections). To safely distinguish between interior and exterior faults, 3 ms of saturation-free transmission time of the maximum throughflowing current are sufficient. The tripping time (at the contact of the bay units) is less than 15 ms, independent of the number of bay units. Time over- current Page 37 otor

Critical locations in the motor (e.g. bearings) can be detected and monitored using Thermo boxes. This solution especially allows the sensitivity of the thermal overload to be increased.
